Instructions

Unless you wish to type in comments on some pages, all you need to do to operate these lesson is point and click on words, pictures, and circles. Most of these objects are called "links".

Links lead you through each lesson. It was the underlined word "Instructions" that "linked" you to this information and brought you to this page. Likewise, there are links for each lesson - such as for Bob's Builders.


From the main "Lessons" page, if you click on underlined words or the picture beneath them, you will be taken to the lesson you chose.

Each lesson consists of many different "pages". On the pages that tell the story, the word "Next" will be underlined. It looks like this:

Next
This "next link" will take you to the next page of information.


At the top left corner of most pages is a picture that looks like this:

If click this "logo link", it will take you back to the main "Lessons" page that takes you to the different lessons. This link is useful if you want to jump out of a lesson and go to some other lesson.


There a small loudspeaker link on nearly all of the pages. It looks like this:

If you click it and your computer is capable of playing "RealAudio", the information near the loudspeaker will be read to you.

On the "story pages", you will only notice one loudspeaker link. It will read all of the story on that page. On the more complicated pages - such as the question and feedback pages - you will find frequent loudspeaker links.

By using them, you can select the smaller portions that you're interested in. This way, you do not have to "sit through" a reading of all the information (this would require a long time for the audio to come into your computer and be read).


One other picture link is at the bottom of "Question Pages", "Comment Forms", and "Evaluation Forms". It is called the "Submit button" and it looks like this:

This button is clicked when you have answered all the questions or made your comments. It sends your question information to the computer system for scoring or e-mails your comments to the developer, depending on which page you're on.


An occasional text link might be found at the bottom of the Feedback Pages. It could look like this:

You may want to go back, review the information in this section, and re-think your choices. Click here to re-examine this section.
This message and link are provided when you miss two or more of the items. If you click the underlined words, you will be taken back to the beginning of the section that relates to the specific questions you answered. Then, you may re-do the questions.

This link is optional - you may click the Next link and continue with the lesson, ignoring the suggestion. However, the developers recommend you follow the link and re-examine that section.


The "Back" and "Forward" Buttons are the top of your Internet browser. They might look like this:

or
The one pointing left - the Back button, takes you backward in the lesson. The one pointing right - the Forward button - brings you forward to where you left off.


The Question Pages present a single question - such as "What should Paul do now?" Under the questions, possibilities are presented - such as "Paul should stop working and untangle the cord."

Under each possibility, there are Agree and Disagree buttons that look like this:

Choose one by clicking inside the circle:

or

Make sure you have clicked Agree or Disagree for each item. When you've completed your choices, click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. It looks like this:

A link to a Comments Form can be found at the bottom of each question's Feedback Page. This allows you to comment on the issues, answers, or scoring relating to that specific feedback page. It looks like this:

Email a comment
This link takes you to a page with a text box that looks like this:
Just click the cursor inside the box and type your comment. When you're finished, click the Submit button at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to another page indicating if the information was sent or if you forgot to click something. If the comment relates to a particular question, please include the question number.

An Evaluation Form is the last page of each lesson. The form operates like the question pages. An example looks like this:

Item 16, on the Evaluation Form, is a comments box where you can type in additional comments. It looks like this:

Just click the cursor inside the box and type your comment.


Additional instructions and reminders will be found on pages such as the Evaluation and Feedback-comments forms. You may now click Next to return to the main Lessons page.
